SILCA Bottle Cage

Titanium Bottle Cages ... Why are they so special?

Not only do titanium cages look beautifully sleek, they provide an almost indestructible cage for your water bottle ... and lightweight, as well. Each titanium cage is bent to meet strict quality standards, polished, laser etched and welded, then sometimes anodized to add a little color. After an extensive testing phase, we developed the titanium bottle cage to securely (SICURO) hold the water bottle in place on all surface conditions and for the duration. Think of it as our "wind tunnel" and then we added an adjustable back plate to make it easy to mount on most bicycle frames and in most locations.

The properties of titanium alloy add only 29 grams per cage to your total weight, making this cage a lightweight powerhouse for your hydration plan. We often hear... "the cage is unbelievably light!"

An additional highlight to the titanium cage production is the reduction of waste. For each cage, we make one Titanium Straw, which makes it one the most sustainable products we manufacture.

Cerakote®

Cerakote is a ceramic polymer based proprietary coating that offers industry leading durability, hardness, scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, flexibility, heat and chemical resistance. At only 1 micron thick, Cerakote high performance ceramic coating increases abrasion resistance by more than 100 times while increasing corrosion resistance more than 1000 times over traditional metal finishes and paint coatings.

Features:
  • Superior Wear Resistance
  • Increased Corrosion Protection
  • Scratch Resistant
  • Flexible and Impact Resistant
  • Lightweight
  • Pencil Test Hardness Rating
  • Product Made In USA

Please note that while Cerakote is the hardest, most durable ceramic coating currently available, however, it is not magic and is roughly equivalent in hardness to the hardest sand particles including aluminum oxide and garnet. Cerakote continually exposed to abrasion by these sand materials will eventually scratch and begin to wear and will not be covered under warranty. Routine cleaning of the cages and cleaning of bottles is recommended to remove any embedded abrasive particles which can accelerate this wear.

Anodizing Finishes

Please note that anodized titanium is only as hard as the titanium itself, and is less hard than many types of sand or abrasives found in sand and soil, including aluminum oxide and garnet which are naturally occurring and are harder than steel. Titanium anodize continually exposed to abrasion by these sand materials will eventually scratch and begin to wear and will not be covered under warranty. Routine cleaning of the cages and cleaning of bottles is recommended to remove any embedded abrasive particles which can accelerate this wear.

Titanium Bottle Cage Production Video

These cages are not just a work of art, they are a labor of love. Each cage takes roughly two hours to produce. The last one in production for the day should look like the first one of the day. With an eye for perfection, we have nailed this process.
